Abstract

The British Congress of Optometry and Vision Science (BCOVS) is an annual conference, typically hosted at one of the UK universities that house an optometry degree course, and who are members of the Optometry Schools Council. Last year however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organisers needed to decide whether to postpone the meeting or take the plunge into virtual conferencing and attempt to host it online for the first time in BCOVS history. As some of you may remember, the committee opted for the latter option and boldly ventured into the magical world of online meetings and attending conferences from their kitchens. Thankfully, as you'll recall if you attended, BCOVS 2020 ended up being such a success that, in light of the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 this past year as well, it seemed an easy decision for the new committee to host it online for a second time.
